Drainage Repairs

Subvision Surveys offers expert drainage surveys and repair services, helping clients identify and resolve issues before they become costly problems. Using CCTV cameras and Wincan software, our team performs thorough inspections to detect blockages, structural damage and other drainage issues with precision, before recommending the right repair method for the problem found.

Common Drainage Problems We Resolve

Drainage issues rarely announce themselves until they cause a problem, whether that’s slow drainage, unpleasant odours, or water pooling on the surface. Our surveys commonly identify tree root infiltration, collapsed or cracked pipework, displaced joints, and blockages caused by fat, silt or debris build-up. Once identified, we provide swift, reliable repair solutions to restore your drainage system to full working order.

Repair Methods We Use

Depending on the severity and location of the issue, repairs may involve targeted drain jetting to clear blockages, patch repairs or lining for cracked or damaged sections, or full excavation and pipe replacement where a section is beyond repair. For damaged sections that don’t require full excavation, we can also carry out Trenchless Cured-in-Place Pipe Repairs, relining the pipe from within to restore its condition without digging up the surrounding ground. We assess each case individually, so you’re only paying for the level of intervention actually needed.

DRAINAGE REPAIRS FAQ’S

At Subvision Surveys, our team provides professional drainage repair services to help resolve problems with existing drainage systems. Our experienced surveyors can investigate issues such as damaged or cracked pipes, displaced joints, blockages, root ingress and other drainage defects before recommending the most appropriate solution. We understand that every drainage problem is different, which is why we take the time to assess the condition of the system before carrying out repair work. By combining our surveying experience with specialist equipment and practical knowledge, we aim to provide an effective and reliable service that addresses the cause of the problem rather than simply treating the symptoms.

Before carrying out drainage repairs, our team can use specialist CCTV drainage equipment to inspect the inside of the pipework and identify the cause of the problem. This allows us to see the condition of the drainage system and locate issues such as fractures, cracks, blockages, root ingress or displaced joints. Carrying out an accurate investigation first helps us understand what needs to be repaired and where the problem is located. Our experienced team can then use this information to determine the most suitable approach for the repair. We believe that understanding the problem properly from the outset is key to providing an effective drainage service.

Our experienced team can deal with a variety of drainage problems, depending on the condition and location of the affected pipework. These can include damaged or fractured pipes, displaced joints, root ingress and other defects that may affect the performance of a drainage system. In some situations, cleaning or jetting may be appropriate, while more serious damage may require further repair work. We assess each drainage issue individually rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. By investigating the system and understanding the underlying problem, our team can recommend a practical solution that is appropriate for the property and the condition of the drainage.

Yes, our team provides drainage repair services for both domestic and commercial clients. We understand that drainage problems can affect properties of all sizes, from individual homes through to larger commercial premises and development sites.

Where appropriate, our team can investigate whether a drainage problem can be addressed without extensive excavation. Our CCTV surveys allow us to accurately inspect the inside of drainage pipes and identify the location and nature of visible defects before any repair work is considered. Depending on the condition of the pipework and the type of damage, there may be repair options that reduce the need for unnecessary excavation. However, the most suitable solution will always depend on the individual circumstances of the drainage system. Our team assesses each problem carefully and can advise on the appropriate approach based on what we find during our investigation.

Our approach is focused on understanding the cause of a drainage problem rather than simply dealing with the immediate symptoms. By using CCTV surveys to investigate the condition of the drainage system, our team can identify defects and areas of concern that may otherwise remain hidden underground. Where appropriate, we can also use drainage jetting to remove accumulated debris, grease, silt and other materials from the pipework. Addressing identified issues and keeping drainage systems properly maintained can help reduce the likelihood of recurring problems. Our aim is to provide our clients with practical solutions that help keep their drainage systems functioning effectively.
